Ehlana and Ethan:
Happy 3rd Anniversary, Elliott and Nora!
We haven’t wrapped up our last day of July with party-rated fun so far, and that won’t be true for the rest of our day, but we have had a good day; so let’s get right to the latest news.
Thanks to the heat, we’ll pick the Pizzeria pizza food break over the baseball for the best part of our time at the park while the co-ed time with Naomi and Aiden after we got home again was definitely the best part of our day. Details aren’t required – just as we are not going to write about any of our favorite parents and what they did with their kid-free nights either! We did have some music practice fun; we watched a movie; and then we crashed and napped on the sectional sofa and caught up on our sleep. Ethan and I still played at the lab or archives this morning after Tai Chi by the river and breakfast, but then we also wrapped up a bit early so that we could meet up with our friends and some cousins for a canoe trip to the whirlpool. A picnic lunch went with us and we loved the time that we spent swimming and playing at the whirlpool. Amazingly, I can report that all of the boys were actually playing nice all afternoon, and while that is true more-often for some of our friends; it was nice to get a break from Zack and Eli – especially when they usually want to impress the older guys in any group with their feats of pranks and jokes. Let’s give the heat credit for that and be grateful; since we really do appreciate having a no-drama day.
We’re writing this update while getting cleaned up and ready for dinner with Mom and Dad, and the timing is because we’ll be busy with the usual co-ed ball practices at the park and then some babysitting that we’re booked for after that while some of the next-gen parents go to the pub for a couple of hours. Ethan and I are then going to keep Naomi and Aiden for another co-ed sleepover; and have invited Sophia and Aaron to join us this time. After the canoeing and the babysitting, we might not stay up very late tonight or have anything amazing to report from our teen time later, but that is all we have for this report – from here at home.
Cassie and Michael are winding down their third day in Italy, and while we haven’t mentioned it yet; we also aren’t really focused at all on the time change to Italy; and their travel details will be better to read about in their journals instead of second or third-hand from us. An afternoon on the river also doesn’t come close to exotic sightseeing, but maybe we’ll be able to go on adventures like that once we’re a bit older too.
For now, we really just need to get going again; so that’s all for today.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
